The Witcher S03

Going into this season felt kind of bittersweet, knowing it would be Henry Cavill's last. 

Just like previous seasons it was pretty slow going up until the last couple episodes. As much as I enjoyed seeing the family stuff between Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri, most of it wasn't very exciting. 

As much as this season tried to be all about Ciri, the story revolved more around the mages. Tissaia pays the ultimate price for their involvement in everything. Fringilla's character arc in this season is one of the most interesting things to watch unfold. 

I loved watching Ciri grow as a person and more as a witcher than as a mage. 

The fight against the Experiment was easily the most disgusting horrific fight of the season. 

Half of me wants to continue watching season 4, the other half wants to boycott the entire thing. We'll see how it goes...

Geralt at the end though... T_T

The Boys S01-S03

I had been recommended this show by several friends and I started watching it on my own, but nowadays I suck at watching shows on my own and only got to S01E06 before I roped Toni in to watching it with me. 

Needless to say, we both had a blast watching it. 

The first season sets the theme and builds the base of the story pretty well. Butcher's wife, Compound V, Starlight's disillusionment, Homelander's behaviour... These are all themes that continue throughout the seasons and pop up in every season. 

Stormfront rubbed me the wrong way even before we knew about her past.

Deep just can't catch a break. Ever.

Maeve is used, abused, and tossed aside and I LOVE HER.

Noir is cray-cray. 

Kimiko and Starlight are absolute badasses. 

I hate A-Train.

Hughie looks like a cinnamon roll, but could actually kill you.

Frenchie looks like he'd kill you, but is actually a cinnamon roll. 

I'm really excited for the fourth season! So much going on! Shit's about to implode! Can't wait!

Sweet Tooth S01-02

When we picked up this show we didn't expect it to be a post-apoc show, but post-covid it hit really hard and just drove home the point that covid could have been so much worse.

The show is a story about Gus, who's a human-animal hybrid. At around the same time that the virus started, human-animal hybrid babies were the only babies being born. Nobody knows why or how, only that suddenly no more human babies were born, only hybrids. 

The virus subsequently wipes out around 80% of the human population worldwide. 

Fast-forward 10 years and we have Gus leaving the confines of his home to explore the world and trying to find his mother. The US no longer exists and what's left is broken up into tribes. The militaristic Last Men are desperately looking for a cure for the virus, which is still around, while also trying to round up and wipe out any and all hybrids in an attempt to save humanity. 

On the other side we have Aimee who takes in every hybrid child she can find and raises them in an old zoo (ironic) until the Last Men move in. 

 

The second season is a prolonged battle on several fronts. We have the kids trying to break out. We have Aimee trying to break in to free them. We have Dr Singh fighting himself while trying to save his wife and subtly oppose General Abbott, and we have General Abbott fighting for control and trying to emerge as the leader of all of the tribes, not just the Last Men.

Through the course of the second season a lot is revealed about the origin of the virus and the hybrids and a lot is resolved in the end, but not everything.

Bobby is best boi.

The third season will also be the last and it promises to be very interesting.
